Mail Merge
In recently trying to add another field in my Mail Merge Database, I have
somehow managed to disable to 'edit' button, so i'm presuming i've pressed something i shouldn't have and locked the database. The database linked to mail merge is access 2003. Any clue to what i have done or what i may need to do to be able to edit the database through mail merge? Apologies if this makes no sense! |

Mail Merge
Once the merge list is created in its pseudo Access format, the edit button
is no longer available. You can, however still edit the data file to add another field. Add the mailmerge helper to your merge toolbar - see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm then edit the data file from that helper. You will be asked to break the link to the MDB file - do so and save the resulting document (a Word table) in your My Data Sources folder. You can then add another column to the table for your new field. Use this document as your data source for a new merge. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MegBoschetti06 wrote: In recently trying to add another field in my Mail Merge Database, I have somehow managed to disable to 'edit' button, so I'm presuming I've pressed something I shouldn't have and locked the database.
